A Priest, A Petting Zoo Guy, A Mormon, 3 New Yorkers on Today's P&P List

Priest who demanded homosexuals have a ‘celibate life’ suspended after being accused of molesting 15-year-old boy in the Bronx

Father Anthony Giuliano in September 2004BY ROCCO PARASCANDOLAGRAHAM RAYMANTHOMAS TRACYNEW YORK DAILY NEWS

A priest who once said homosexuals had to live a “celibate life” to be good Catholics has been accused of molesting a 15-year-old boy at a Bronx church about 30 years ago.But without a change to the statute of limitations on child sex abuse in New York, the alleged crimes committed by the man of the cloth will forever go unpunished.

Father Anthony Giuliano was running two parishes in Dutchess County — about 85 miles from Manhattan — on Aug. 16 when a 43-year-old man told police the priest had molested him in the late 1980s.

The Archdiocese of New York immediately removed him from the two parishes as the NYPD launched an investigation.

“The allegation has been found to be credible,” Reverend Gerald Walsh, the Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of New York, to parishioners at St. John the Evangelist and St. Charles Borromeo churches, located in Pawling and Dover Plains.

The accuser told Bronx Special Victims Squad detectives that he was working in the rectory of Holy Rosary Church in Baychester between 1987 and 1988 when Giuliano befriended him. The two used to play wrestle, he told cops.During one session, Giuliano told the teen that he was going to “take him to the back and give him a frontal,” according to police sources.The teen thought Giuliano was talking about a wrestling maneuver — until the priest told him to lie down on the ground, pulled the teen's pants and underwear down and molested him, police sources said.

Even if sufficient evidence is found to support the accuser’s claims, New York’s statute of limitations bars authorities from filing charges. Victims of child sex abuse have until age 23 to bring a criminal or civil case.

In June, Albany legislators failed to vote on the Child Victims Act, which would have made it easier for child sex abuse victims to seek justice against their abusers, as well as the Catholic Church and schools. The long-stalled legislation would have created a one-year window for past victims of abuse to bring charges against their tormentors.

The Catholic League called the legislation “a vindictive bill pushed by lawyers and activists out to rape the Catholic Church.”

An odd choice of words - 'rape the church'. If the church had been as proactive in stopping the rape of children by pedophile priests as they are in stopping those children from getting justice, this world would be a much better place.

Meanwhile, investigators are trying to determine if other, more recent victims of Giuliano can be found, police sources said.

“This is a shock,” the priest told the Daily News last month when the allegations surfaced. “It never happened.” When reached Tuesday, he refused to comment. The accuser also declined comment.

In an interview by a SUNY New Paltz student posted online in 2014, Giuliano said that homosexuals should be celibate if they want to be part of the Catholic Church. “It must be a celibate life like with the priesthood,” he said. “We are celibate for a greater purpose.”

He also questioned Pope Francis’ push to open the Catholic Church to same-sex couples. “We can’t say this for 2,000 years and then all of a sudden say, ‘Oh, we made a mistake for 2,000 years,’” Giuliano said.

Anne Barrett Doyle, co-director of Bishop Accountability, said the Archdiocese of New York notoriously hides information, preventing a more complete picture of the extent of abuse among priests in the state.

“We know of very few accused priests in New York State,” Doyle said. “We know about more accused priests in the diocese of Manchester, New Hampshire than we do in the Archdiocese of New York.”

Utah man accused of child sex abuse tells judge

how he found God

Timothy Morgan Butler, of Layton, appeared in Judge Glen Dawson's Second Distrtict courtroom with his standby council Julie George and Mark Arrington in Farmington on Tuesday, September 6, 2016. He turned to the public in the courtroom to say that we are all brothers and sisters. In July Butler pleaded guilty to three counts of attempted aggravated sexual abuse of a child.Image by: BRIANA SCROGGINS/Standard-ExaminerLORETTA PARK, Standard-Examiner Staff

FARMINGTON, Utah — A 56-year-old Layton man told a judge he found God when serving jail time 20 years ago when he read the Book of Mormon. I don't think he found my God

Butler, who is representing himself, asked if he could speak in court for a few minutes. Dawson had rescheduled the sentencing hearing for Sept. 20 because they had received the victim’s impact statement on Tuesday. Mark Arrington and Julie George have been appointed as stand-by council to help Butler with his case.

Butler accepted a plea deal on July 26. He entered guilty pleas to three counts of attempted aggravated sexual abuse of a child, first-degree felonies, in 2nd District Court, according to online court records. Each felony Butler pleaded guilty to carries a possible sentence of three years to life in Utah State Prison. Butler said in court Tuesday that he was ordered to serve a year sentence in the Davis County Jail 20 years ago for a drug possession charge. At that time he said he didn’t believe in God.

Three months into the sentence, Butler said he received work release and his fiancee would pick him up from the jail and drive him to his job in Salt Lake County because his driver’s license had been suspended. The woman broke off their engagement, Butler said, so he decided to drive himself to work.

“I made a stupid mistake,” Butler said.

That’s when he called his mother, but she refused to talk to him. Butler said his father spoke with him on the phone and told him to read the Book of Mormon.

Butler said he didn’t believe in God but decided to read the book, and he couldn’t put it down. He said he talked to his cellmate and he was "filled with the Holy Spirit of God."

“I knew there was a God,” Butler said.

Butler then went on to say that later when he was released from jail he read 1 Corinthians Chapter 7 in the Bible and went to a bishop of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with questions concerning virgins. Butler said he was a member of the LDS Church at that time.

Butler claims that verses in that chapter claim when a virgin passes a certain age then a man can do what he wants, and he hasn't sinned.

That's not what the Bible says. The reference is to a man's daughters and whether she should be married or remain a virgin. Doing what you want with her would not allow her to remain a virgin. I'm curious as to what the Mormon bishop told him.

As Butler left the courtroom he said, “God bless you,” to Dawson for allowing him to speak in court.

Officers with the Layton Police Department arrested Butler on March 25, 2014, after a 10-year-old girl accused him of touching her inappropriately, court records say. He told officers he sexually abused another child under the age of 10 around the same time as the first child, according to court records.

During an interview with police, Butler told an officer “the Bible did not set limits on the age between two partners,” a probable cause statement filed with the court says.

The New Testament is not a book of rules. It is about having a relationship with Jesus Christ that is so intimate that one should never do what would be repugnant to Christ, not because it is against a rule, but just because you have surrendered your will to Jesus and you want what He wants. I think he missed that part.

Though Butler’s mental competency was questioned during the case, two psychiatrists found he was competent to stand trial. He has spent time at Utah State Hospital for mental health-related issues in the past.

Save A Child

Prayer

“There is nothing thrilling about a labouring man’s work, but it is the labouring man who makes the conceptions of the genius possible; and it is the labouring saint who makes the conceptions of his Master possible.

You labour at prayer and results happen all the time from God’s standpoint. What an astonishment it will be to find, when the veil is lifted, the souls that have been reaped by you, simply because you had been in the habit of taking your orders from Jesus Christ.”
